Hi Sanjay,

Are you able to import profile parameters via RZ10 ? Also try to reset Host Name Buffer system through SM51 and try to execute the FM  again.

In addition kindly confirm system details with us.Kindly refer SCN document RZ10: issues while saving, activating or importing profiles - Basis Corner - SCN Wiki

to more on import issue of Profile parameters.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply guys,

@Gaurav - i tried reset of Host Name buffer , still not able to import the profiles.

@Divyanshu - Used SUM sps 10 and i am facing the same error.

asked abap guy to check that FM and he didn't find any solution.

Hi,

What is the SUM SP and patch level ?

Divyanshu

[sanjay_vallakati]

Thanks for quick reply guys,

@deepak - its not a space issue as the error says its SERVER_NOT_AVAILABLE and not DBIF error.

@Gaurav - i have already checked that link , in that its DBIF error (table sapce issue)

@DIVyanshu - SUM SP and patch level = SUM10SP11 patch level 0

Regards,

Sanjay

[divyanshu_srivastava3]

Hi can use the latest Patch 7 of SP11

@ divyanshu SUM10 SPS11 patch 0 is latest

@ deepak - yes is up and running.

[divyanshu_srivastava3]

sorry for the typo.

can u try/use sp10 or lower

[sanjay_vallakati]

Hi,

I guess the problem would be i am not able to import profiles of active servers.

I checked secstore no red light traffic lights.

executed RFC_PING no error messages.

but still i am facing below error.

Hi Sanjay,

Could you try once by running report RS_TT_CLEANUP_SECSTORE and importing the profiles and share the results again.

Regards,

Gaurav

[former_member182657]

Hi Sanjay,

Kindly confirm are you getting any dumps under ST22 and share if any .

Kindly post the results or snapshot after manually executing function module UPG_READ_SYS_ENVIRONMENT under SE37.

Also confirm for proper permissions and ownerships on /usr/sap.. directory at OS level.

I already executed that functional module it throws an exception SERVER_NOT_AVAILABLE.

permissions are all fine at OS level.
